Welcome William, and hopefully not.

And I suggest that you ask questions at stackoverflow (SO) like this one

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/670727/writing-a-gui-in-squeak

It has a [squeak] and a [MVC] tag.
At the moment SO is not really used but having a few questions there
will be helpful as it is much easier to keep track of things there
then on this mailing list and the documentation value is higher
because of the automatic linking and navigation aids.

This is just a suggestion .... using this ML is surely preferred  to
just lurking.
